It's also interesting that the headline focuses on the driverless feature
of the trains, even though this may not be used initially. Maybe a
not-very-subtle reminder to the existing strike-prone drivers that their
days may be numbered?

The drivers probably know there'll have to be someone on board and it doesn't
matter if they're at the front driving or wandering around like on the DLR.
They'll still be paid the same (or else) so I doubt they care.

I think the DLR PSAs are paid significantly less than LU drivers.


Lets hope the actual trains are somewhat less butt ugly than the mock up
shown there.

Yes, the designers of that model were trying just a bit too hard to
incorporate the LU roundel into the front-end design.
